My world turned upside down. Never the same.
There was a very good, lengthy investigative piece about gain of function written by an award winning investigative journalist in WaPo. A lone voice.
My disappointment and disgust with MSM cannot be overstated.

Those people sold their soul to the company store.
I actually was across from NyTimes building this afternoon. Fantasized about making a statement on their glass storefront, guerrilla style.
Actually, ardent support for the empire IS right wing. Left means being anti-imperialist, but the pundits have people so confused they get terminology mixed up.
Notification: The US has not been a country since at least 1898 when it took over the remnants of the Spanish Empire--Philippines, Cuba and Puerto Rico, and claimed (falsely) the sovereignty of Hawai'i which was never anyone's colony. That sovereignty was never relinquished by the rightful inhabitants, so Hawai'i today remains an occupied country. I am quite expert on this, and offer my book LIBERATE HAWAI'I! as evidence "Today the US has some 800 military bases in other people's countries. No other entity comes close. If that is not empire, pray tell how else would you define that level of intrusion and control?
I found that a 'head turner' as well. since when is NYT 'right' leaning? not allowing 'left' opinions?? am I missing something or is that woman truly THAT stupid?
Why not rotate them like usual? Pentagon chief extends deployment of carrier strike group in Red Sea as Houthi attacks go on
The U.S. Navy aircraft carrier strike group that for months has launched crucial strikes against Houthi rebels in Yemen to protect military and commercial ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden will remain in the region for at least another month, according to U.S. officials. U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin signed the order last week to extend the four ships’ deployment for a second time, rather than bring the carrier, the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, and its three warships home. The other ships in the strike group are the USS Philippine Sea, a cruiser, and two destroyers, the USS Gravely and the USS Mason. https://www.stripes.com/branches/navy/2024-05-31/aircraft-carrier-red-sea-deployment-extended-14042845.html
The official denial includes photos you "should not believe" with a red line through them (including a new one), indicating that this denial defense is failing to hide the reports.
Disinformation campaign uses fake footage to claim attack on USS Eisenhower
False claims of a missile attack by Yemen's Houthi rebels against an American aircraft carrier in the Red Sea over the weekend were followed by a flood of doctored images and bogus videos online, which were amplified by pro-Chinese and pro-Russian social media accounts.
The U.S. Navy said there was no truth to the messages claiming the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower had been severely damaged or possibly sunk.
"The USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69) remains in the U.S. Central Command region. The sailors and the ship are ready and postured to respond to any contingency at a moment's notice," a Navy spokesperson told CBS News on Tuesday. "We are committed to protecting freedom of navigation and commerce in the region alongside our partners and allies." https://www.cbsnews.com/news/yemen-houthi-attack-disinformation-uss-eisenhower/
Completely agree and concur both articles and the thoughts you narrate in both regarding U.S major dailies, The WaPo and NYT.
Both of these rags, indeed, given their lack of true fact based journalism, that is all they have become fit to be known as… rags… are now finding out the hard way the reality and result of merely reproducing government and vested interest talking points, no better illustrated than the turgid content we were subjected by virtually all MSM during the scamdemic.
Interestingly enough and sensing the change, these supposed bastions of unmitigated investigative journalism quickly changed their approach to seeking conciliation, calling for forgiveness post Scamdemic, who can forget such tripe published and dominating their front pages…
One needs only watch the State Departments media interlocutors Matthew Miller, his colleague, DoD’s Sabrina Singh and the very worst examples, Karine Jean Pierre and John Kirby daily state their half truths and lies before a complicit media who seldom challenge these false talking points with anything the veracity many viewers and readers demand… instead it is as if bearing witness a gigantic rubber stamp, being part of a … a huge “nod along”, no one present to truly challenge these ridiculous positions they espouse… personally I’d be embarrassed to stand up and spout the crap that comes out of their mouths… not only is it embarrassing but demeaning as well.
Sadly their approach as examples are symptomatic of the overall state of our MSM…
I have long held anyone who begins to again work as journalists of old, going hard, truly investigating and following stories to their natural conclusions will thrive, will set themselves apart… alas, without a platform in which to print or report your findings you’ve really got nothing, hence the proliferation and uptick of the Social Media space, filling the void left hollowed out by the MSM… little wonder they’re bleeding cash and subscribers, cancelling subscriptions the very best way to show just how out of touch they, the MSM are… have become… personally I find it referencing, sourcing my news from real journalists unconstrained the intimidation of losing a pay check in order they tow the line, sing the editors song.. we are much better off for it… no tears from me for CNN, WaPo, NYT, TIME, etc… long overdue and my their decline hasten further, their value decline, to reflect their true worth….. nothing, zip, nada, zilch, the big donut…. Zero…. that’s when we will know we have beaten back the scourge created Clinton’s statutory change that ushered in 6 entities controlling 90% of media in the U.S a statistic replicated in most Western nations… interestingly enough, Russian media is as robust, direct, hard core in terms of real reporting as you will find remains anywhere, ditto, Indian and many African States… thankfully the age of editorial bias hasn’t yet found its way into these regions media… reading it is so refreshing, akin a trip back to a time we knew, as if the World has folded back in upon itself so profound and refreshing it is to read hard hitting, no nonsense journalism, articles written without fear or favour, no quarter given or granted their subjects… as it should be, the press, the last check citizens have to ensure those in authority, including the wealthy are kept honest, not as we presently have, serving them…. Thank you Mary, another great article….
Look at the recent history of the news and media. The internet took a big bite out of the news business starting in mid 1990s. Why should I pay for news that is hours or a day old when it comes for free on the internet and is up to the minute. Even TV stations are subject to ratings and less viewership means less advertising revenue. The steady decline was interrupted by the government and big pharma intervention in 2020. In exchange for favourable coverage of the government narrative and promoting pharma products they cover about 50% of the advertising in papers and on TV. So networks and papers lied for the money. Only those reporters willing to push the government narrative are allowed to write for the MSM.
In Canada the MSM was bought by the government directly with $15,000 per newsroom employee subsidy in 2018 after years of government refusal to subsidies. $600,000,000 was set aside by the liberal government for the subsidies. The conservatives have sworn to end the subsidies. So the newspapers write nice things about Trudeau's liberals and their policies including the pandemic crap.
They recently upped the subsidies to $30,000 per newsroom employee and extended them until the next federal election in 2025. What would you do if your MSM company was on the verge of bankrupcy and the government offered subsidies with strings attached. Despite this not all the subsidies have been used as the MSM in Canada continues to hemorrhage employees and go bankrupt as readership plummets. Two large MSM companies went bankrupt recently. Good Riddance.
"Why should I pay for news that is hours or a day old when it comes for free on the internet and is up to the minute. " Of course nothing is ever "free". That news arrived via a source somewhere who was compensated generally via ad revenue. And the click to obtain news from a reposter website generated funds via ad revenue. After all, bandwidth and storage aren't free. In the end the ads pay for it all so the advertisers then control content. That ad model has resulted in near collapse of local news reporting; our newspapers are failing. Even twitter/x has had to adapt to advertiser demands.
We have yet to evolve a better revenue model. If ad revenue controls media we are assured media can't be trusted. And if engagement drives ad revenue expect constant efforts at generating anger, driving partisan divisions and marginal stories.
Tay-Tay Lorenz is an embarrasement to stupidity. She epitomizes everything wrong with journalism today. Lacking any journalistic standards or ethics, she takes cheap shots at other people on social media all day. Then cries on camera because people are mean to her. Pu-lease!
Meryl: It's very magnanimous of you to call these mentally and morally challenged individuals journalists. Real journalists have a degree and a code of ethics. Www.justtnews.com was founded by John Solomon, a journalist with over 25 years experience in D.C. Once a month, he has a webinar for his subscribers. He picks a current topic and takes questions about anything his subscribers want. Today was an analysis of the Hunter Biden trial. He didn't attack Hunter, he explained all aspects of the case. It was a discussion, not a narrative, unlike MSM that tells you what they want you to think about the case.
Agree that we no longer have journalists in the MSM. What we do have is "media" which is an arm of government, whose function is to spread propaganda while pretending to tell us "the news."
P.S. How ironic I have friends who still really believe -- even after 4 years of Covid lies -- that state-sponsored and controlled outlets, like Tass and Pravda, are a thing found only in OTHER COUNTRIES but not in the U.S.A.!
I recently heard Naomi Wolf being interviewed and she said that the supposed 'journalism schools' have changed the 'ethics & standards' models in the past decade or so. what's left is 'activist journalism', where the causes du jour are propped up without critical debate. the ethics include such pap as admonishing the writer to never make a interviewee 'uncomfortable'.
oh, guess who funds these 'activist journalism' schools? the Gates Foundations. surprise, surprise. (not)
Your comment reminded me of something. The National Football League is now re-classified. It is no longer a "sport." Foot ball is a sport. But the N.F.L. is NOT. The N.F.L. has been re-classified as "entertainment."
As such, it is now perfectly legal for the games to be fixed and rigged, just like a reality TV show like the "Bachelor" or the "Bachelorette." (I never liked the NFL, so no big loss there.)
It's just tragically sad that so many people watch the SuperbOwl while believing it is a REAL contest. Try telling an NFL "sports" fan that it's all FAKE, ha-ha-ha. They will likely have a bad reaction like they just had 5 booster shots! Or like a KISS fan might react if u clued them in that the fake rock band KISS was created during a board meeting in some record company's offices!
MSM is going the way of the Dodo. No one reads their drivel, and anyone who does rolls their eyes at every paragraph. They do serve one purpose; letting us all know what the propaganda of the regime is for the day, week, month…. We can at least discern the flood of lies that will be blow-chunking its way to our TVs soon.
unfortunately I know several people who actually still DO hang on their every word as gospel. these folks do not realize that they are no longer in the majority. they truly don't.
Honest and more objective reporting requires being able to move one's perspective outside of one's confirmation biases, which is very difficult for most everyone these days, particularly if one's income comes from a media company based in a bias.
The truth isn’t allowed hence the talking heads. They’re not allowed to question anything nor report truthfully. They have to stick to the script. Then when talking to some, I’d you don’t get your info from msm, you’re the idiot. It’s maddening.
Cancelled WSJ after 20 Years because I was sick of the propaganda and misinformation in the paper. They said churches were covid superspreaders- I asked for proof - there wasn't any. Globalist propaganda rag.
My feeling, at this stage, is that we have lived through about 20 years of increased censorship and propaganda and people have finally had quite enough of it. I just watched Tucker's interview with president Bukele; it is real journalism. I learned a lot. I listened the President. Tucker asked good questions and got truthful answers. There was no teleprompter, no minders and no infuriating, stonewalling, talking head, spouting endless obfuscation and lies.
